Introduction to Accounting

Accounting is a system for collecting, recording, analyzing, and communicating a company's financial information. Accounting is divided into two main categories: financial accounting and managerial accounting. In this video, we explore what accounting is, the two main categories of financial and managerial accounting, as well as specific concepts related to those two categories.

You have SAVED me from my financial accounting class. I was so lost until I found this. Thank you! You are so descriptive and slow moving.

Accounting is a subject that everyone should have at least some exposure. This is especially true for anyone in business as accounting is the language of business. Great presentation.

I'm a technical professional pursing MBA studies. This was a great help for someone totally new to accounting.

Preparing to take a college accounting course next month and this will greatly prepare me for my upcoming course. Thank you so much fore sharing. I will be reviewing the information until it sinks in. God bless you!

Left first accounting lecture, exhausted, overwhelmed and wanted to curl into a ball and cry. Listened to Mattalanis lecture, felt like the moment when the Eagles saved Frodo from Mount Doom.

Wow, you are truly an incredible teacher. My profs at the University of Zürich can barely explain what a financial statement was, let alone what budgeting means. Thanks a lot for this video, very thoughtful and extremely helpful. You are a natural teacher, great lecture :)

We often work with clients whose business skills are pretty solid but they are novices when it comes to accounting. Yes, we help sort out their books but we also make attempts to introduce them to the world of accounting. And this is one such video which we often recommend our clients or anyone else who wants to get familiar with accounting to watch.

This was so good and so very well put together I have watched twice already and it has helped so much. I love the way you organized it in order. Most speaker get lost when they speak or it takes them 5-10 to get back on the subject. Now I am going to listen to every one of your videos. Thank you for much for your hard work.

I liked your presentation because it is knowledgeable, and the language you used also easy to understand.  It made me understand the accounting system better than before.  Thank you so much.

Thanks for the fast reply. I'm definitely heading into this route. I'll be watching these videos and taking notes. Thanks again

There isn't a part 2 for this video since it's meant as more of an overview. If you're interested in other accounting concepts you may want to check out the "Accounting" playlist.
